It almost 8, you should be at the hospital now. LOL You will be just fine. The anesthesiologist is your friend......he has the good stuff. He will mix up a fine liquid for you. Let us know how it was.

Too late for me to offer any advice as you are probably getting ready to go into surgery now. So, instead I will just say good luck, I am sure everything will go well. Let us know how you are feeling as soon as you are up to it.

Thanks everyone for all your well wishes and great advise. Everything went well, other then a small delay this morning. My surgery ended up being around 10:30, and I left Fair Oaks hospital at 5:00. I'm home, and just took my first dose of pain meds. I'm sure I will hurt more tomorrow, but I'm just hoping for a good night sleep tonight.

Thanks again for all your support.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
